The "IMom" cake isn't really a Mother's Day cake. It's to celebrate the release of Apple's newest gizmo...the iMom. It attaches to your iMac, iPhone, iPod, iPad, and iPood. It gives you daily affirmations such as "Wear clean underwear" and "If your friends jumped off a bridge would you do it too?" and the classic "Well I'm not Joey's mom that's why Joey can jump off bridges with his friends and you can't"

The kid's artwork cake looks like it's covered in cat litter -- even the cat thought it should be buried.

Thanks for the geek points. Can I give mine to Donna M? I just HAVE to give her something. My "IMom" would also say "Do you remember Sheila Smith? I think you went to high school with her? She was a grade ahead of you? Well, she's dead." (But I hear she was wearing clean underwear.)

Geek points here too! Thrilled you are an Asimov fan. First books I put on my Kindle were the first three books of the Foundation series. The cakes are just proof that Moms love you no matter what. Wreckerators have moms. Those moms are proud. Right?

If it was really a tribute cake for a fanatical Asimov fan who happens to be a mother, there should have been a comma! ;p Woot! 15 geek points for me!And Donna...you rule the world. Queen Geek. We bow to you.

If I read the comments on You Tube videos I get ill... If I read them on Cake Wrecks, I laugh until I am ill... I'll take door number two, please :) Personally, I am thinking that we are reverting to cave-dweller days... I-mom U-dad Dat-*point with ugly number 1 cake* -kid... or kidding... :P

I got the geek points--yay, me! But I don't need to be told I am a geek mom, I KNOW. Why, just this morning I was telling my young'un that science is cool and all the things she likes were made by geeks--computers, video games, her robot penguin "Penbo", and yes, even Disneyland. I love the smell of geekiness in the morning!

Definitely deviled eggs. (Welcome back, previous meal -- it's good to see you again!) Were these part of a series? "That message still doesn't look right -- better try again. I need more eggs!"

I got the Asimov reference, then went on to Bradbury's story, "I Sing The Body Electric!".

225.

I guess Jerry deserves a day, but two things occur to me: a.) The apostrophe is then in fact misplaced (should be Mathers' or perhaps Mathers's).

b.) The wreckerator might have been attempting to circumvent the pun control laws (aka the 'Alan Brady Bill') with 'Happy Mother's [Mather's] Daisies'.

Next, I was trying to make sense of what appeared to be white powder (sugar -- yeah, just what every cake needs!), then I realized that moisture is soaking through what may not be edible paper. Which document subsequently had to be placed in a vacuum-sealed display case, following the Great Ant Invasion of 2011.

Finally, I can see a harpsichord decorated by someone who hates music (and musicians).

Looks to me like they didn't even bother with the edible paper for the artwork cake...ugh.

After those wonderfully refreshing beautiful cakes on Mother's Day, these past two days' cakes are just awful.

Maybe the iMom can help get the kids out of the house to school in the morning without my constant yelling at them to get ready faster, can help referee the latest argument, can keep track of whose turn it's supposed to be or who started it or how much each has had so that it is fair...

WV: cruenged--I just cruenged at the sight of the wreckerator's Mother's Day cake.

That last cake looks rather suspiciously like my home state, too. If you wrapped it in pink flowery wallpaper from hell. And hey, Delaware's one of the only states that's small enough to feasibly do that!

The last one is nice. What better way to show your mom love than to remind her that she still needs to see her gynocologist even after menopause. But there should also be a squished boob cake to remind her to get her annual mammogram.

"M" is for the messy blobs of icing, "A" is for apostrophes galore, "T" is for the too tremendous pricing, "H" is “Hell, these cakes are looking poor!” "E" is for my eyes, which now need bleaching, "R" means retch, what these cakes get from me. Put them all together, they spell "MATHER," A word that means a kid from old TV!

At least that last one wasn't the middle finger then someone would be in big trouble with mom. Lol the first one wasn't so bad compared to whatever the heck was drawn on that "artwork" cake. And alas no geek points for me :(.

The 'artwork' cake.. What the heck was the decorator thinking? You don't put an edible image over choc. frosting to begin with, and you've got to cut it to size.. holy crapoli.. I was decorating today thinking 'I hope I never see one of my cakes on cakewrecks'.. lol..

What oh What is the meaning of the 5th cake? Why is there a piece of paper with writing and pictures covered with sand? Is the sand supposed to be a playground reference? Goodness, I sure hope the sand isn't real. But what, then, could it possibly be?

Laughing so much - thanks for the iMom, Donna M, but even more thanks to Sharyn for letting me know that my iMom is not the only one who goes to great lengths to ensure I remember someone I'd forgotten, just so she can say they're now dead.

WV: aneted, as in "All geek points have been fully compiled and aneted."

After so many tough days, or the beginnings of them, I truly find solace and laughter on Cake Wrecks. Here is the link to my shout our to Cake Wrecks! You guys keep on going, keeping the world informed of one new disease after another!!

What? No one corrected you to say that Spatial Awareness is a REAL disorder and you shouldn't make fun of them? No one was deeply chagrined that their favorite country/race/holiday/King's cake/Disney edifice was lampooned? And we even got treated to delightful wit such as Donna M.'s? Oh my, what is this world coming to? LOVE IT!

ha ha ha ha! OMG i'm 95% sure that iMOM cake came from the store i work at! i remember laughing at it with my co-worker and saying "wow we habe a great bakery plant". dont worry this cake came in pre-decorated. i follow this blog and was wondering when i would see something from our bakery plant! now please excuse me as i have to go compose myself from laughing so hard i think i may have wet myself!

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
